Lin may not be a Knick next year

[RickyGQ]

naw not really but it defects the rookie contract rule really.


gilbert balled out for 2 years and bounced to washington for 10million a year

So it was in "interest of fairness" type of thing?

yep

Lins agent is saying that they might just take the qualifying offer so Lin can be unrestricted next season

even smarter for both sides. he plays out the deal he gets more money

BUT

if he plays like a bum his gonna get bum money


nick young took the gamble and his gonna take that L this offseason

Lin's agent should get fired then. If Lin has any kind of setback next season...the amount of money he'd lose would be astronomical

Knicks will keep him.

All those Linsanity fitteds and shirts going into clearance if they can't keep him is not a fun thought to Dolan. Linsanity on the real showed how desperate Knicks fans are at a beacon of hope. Linsanity symbolized the "I'll suck your dikk" mentality Knicks fans have ever since Marbury. Real sad in a way, almost Jet-like

 

[GoldenGlove]

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't match.

Are the Knicks going to try and get CP3 after he bounces from LA after next year?

healthy or gimpy, Lin is still a novelty act that will be coveted for his marketability.

I could be wrong about this. But Lin's bird rights reset...which means we would still have his Early Bird Rights in that event.

Someone clarify this for me

Who jacked tremont for his screen name?

no money for CP3

novelty acts have only a price that is but so high. Nobody is gonna pay good money for a gimp that can't play. Half of the reason for Linsanity was the wins/amazing statline he put out. Without that no one else will reap the benefits the Knicks did (not that they can anyway)

I think there's more of a market for nick young than there is for lin (ignoring media hype, just talking basketball)

Nick Young has a skillset that pretty much every team can use. Lin is only effective on a few teams imo.

nah, if he takes that qualifying offer a team can offer as much as they want and yall cant match.

 

[qwerty_jones]

Without Lin the Knicks wouldn't of made the playoffs. He brings that heart on both ends of the court

if you were perennial losing franchise with no real prospects for the future -- let's say the Bobcats -- and your options are reupping DJ Augustine or giving that money to a hurt Lin that has an ethnic connection to NBA goldmine (China) that will guarantee your hemorrhaging franchise millions in endorsements, TV deals and all-star selections (), it's really a no brainer breh.

they ain't winning shyt either way, might as well roll with the novelty act.

If Jeremy Lin was black the media would be shytting on him HARD for this stuff.
